Re: Polster

Jeff, sorry to take so long, busy with another family. The Polster line died in the family with the marriage of the girls. There was Anna born 9/21/1878 and Alma. Alma married a Charles Zamastil 6/25/1910, this being my husband's line. Anna married a Karl Plach(k)e, don't know date, but Ill. 1910 census has them married. She did have a couple of children that my husband and brother in-law sorta' remember, but don't know when Karl died or did they divorce? She is buried in Mt. Auburn by Charles and Alma, but the name is Anna Thelen? Don't know when that took place. Don't know when she died, the cemetery (not the most helpful we've been at) said that she was moved there. Probably need to go and visit with them again as to when and from where. Thanks for your reply. The boys grew up thinking they were born in Ohio, but the Census records and death certificate of Alma say IL> Barb
